STOVE.

Application filed August 1, 1925. Serial No. 1?,561.

"he invention relates to a stove as described in the present specification and illus trated in the accompanying drawings that form part of the application.

The invention consists essentially of the novel features of construction pointed out in the claim following a description containing an explanation in detail of the invention.

The objects of the invention are to relieve the interior of the stove of the accumulations of ash intermediate of the height of the column of fuel whereby the life of the tire will be materially improved and the intermediate unconsumed fuel given a chance to burn and make fresh ash, thereby economizing and insuring better service for the stove;'to produce a stove for the aforesaid purpose at a low cost, so that the improvement hereinafter described shall not add materially to the selling price; to eliminate the choking troubles incident to the burning of the fire, and thus save much trouble to the housewife and avoid a great deal of inconvenience and work due to the building of fresh fires; to facilitate the consumption of common classes of fuel by the relief aforesaid; and generally to provide an ellicient heater of a durable and serviceable nature.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of the stove.

Figure 2 is a front elevation of the stove. Figure 3 is a cross sectional view on the line 33 in Figure 2.

Figure 4 is aperspective detail of an intermediate door and sill broken away to disclose a hinge part.

Like numerals of reference indicate corres aonding parts in the various figures.

eferring to the drawings, the stove herein described is illustrated as having a cylindrical body 10 with the feed opening 11 at the upper end, the bottom ash door opening 12 at the lower end and the two inter mediate ash relief openings 13 and 14's conveniently spaced in the front of the body between the feed opening 11 and the bottom ash door opening 12.

The horizontal flanges 15 and 16 project outwardly from the relief openings 13 and 1% respectively, and the triangular flanges 17 extend upwardly from the shelf 15 to form the side walls of a boX llke and similarly the triangular flanges 18 extend upwardly from the shelf 16 to form a box like structure. 7

The doors 19 and 20 close in the shelves 15 and 16 respectively and side walls 17 and 18, and are each formed with a shelf extension 21 extending inwardly from the lower end, said shelf extensions having the parallel flanges 22 in vertical line with parallel flanges 23 at the upper end of the door and projecting from the inside thereof, these and 23 forming respectively slide ways for the introduction of the asbestos plates 24, one in each of said doors.

The doors 19 and 20 are secured to the shelves 15 and 16 by the hinge pins 25 and 26 and have the bosses 27 and 28 formingstops, these stops engaging the underside of the shelves 15 and 16 in the open positions of the doors and bringing the shelf extensions 21 flush horizontally with the shelves 15 and16 for the greater convenience of removing the ash.

The ;latch dogs 29 are secured to the doors and have the handles 80, these latch dogs engaging "the spring patches 31' secured to the stove body above the door so that the doors are very securely held to their closed positions and yet by a very slight exertion they are pulled free and move to their open position. v

The bottom ash door opening is closed by an ordinary bottom ash door 32and the feed opening by a door 33, both of these doors being hinged to the body and constructed generally as customary in the manufacturing of stoves.

In the use of this stove, the fuel is built up from the base 341 and gradually filled up until it reaches quite a high level in the cylindrical body. In a good bright fire a lot of the fuel column is incandescent and t ien the ash may be removed from the usual bottom ash door, but as the disintegration of the fuel continues the column of ash is higher in the casing and may be taken from an intermediate door over the projecting sill and thereby livening the fire.

What I claim is A stove comprising a casing having a plurality of door openings in vertical alignment in the front portion thereof, a door frame projecting outwardly from each of flanges 22 structure,said door openings and having triangular side walls and bottom plate and forming a rigid part 01 said casing, a plurality of doors each. having an inwardly projecting shelf at the bottsln and a liingejoint between the annularly arranged parts pivotally connected to the outer extremities of said side Walls, said door having flanges in vertical alignment at the top of the former and inner end of the latter, and asbestos plates engaging said flanges. 10
